Kånken has developed since it went on sale for the first time in 1978. This model has room for up to a 15″ laptop in a special padded compartment at the back. Padded shoulder straps. Large main compartment, two side pockets and a zippered pocket in the front. The entire bag is made of durable Vinylon F.

Okay, so, I got the plum 15". The pictures make it out to be very dark red, but i'd say it's between Maroon and the colour Crimson. I was thinking of getting a smart backpack for the same price but i'm very happy I chose the kanken. It's honestly so cute and goes with almost every outfit I wear. Now that it's winter, its obviously going to be cold outside and surprisingly the kanken keeps my back decently warm. I believe the laptop compartment is made of a waterproof material. I'm not sure but so far it looks and feels very waterproof. I bought my kanken in an actual store in Toronto and the staff actually recommended not to buy the wax for the backpack because the 15" was the most waterproof backpack they sold. I'm really attached to my kanken and would probably only buy kankens now instead of other brands.

Great School Backpack

Product rating

My Kanken can fit a large binder, pencil case, and lunch in the main compartment, with room for a laptop in the rear compartment! The padded straps are very comfortable, and the backpack sits nicely on the back. Very durable, and looks very cool.

Love my Kanken - its cute / functional / light. Great zippers, I know the bag is going to last. Just wish was a bit less expensive....but so far totally worth it!
